Abstract

Dialectics in the political arena does not only cover the space for party competition that uses political capital but also strengthens post-election development that is oriented towards maintaining power on an ongoing basis for electoral competition. Deli Serdang Regency, after regional autonomy, the direct election of regional heads which began in 2004 was successfully defended by the Tambunan family figure. The electoral competition in each post-conflict local election season was won, which led to the sustainability of the leadership for up to four periods. This condition certainly cannot be separated from Ashari Tambunan’s modality in leading Deli Serdang Regency. Modality is the trust that leaders have with the people who choose them as a mandate in development. Modality, according to Putnam, cannot be separated from sociopolitical relations involving networks, norms, and social trust from the elite and society. This study uses a qualitative research method, with data analysis explaining building and times series as a reinforcement of the argument for Ashari Tambunan’s leadership which harmoniously managed to maintain the conduciveness of Deli Serdang Regency. While the data sources used are primary data and secondary data, namely direct observation, interviews, and literature studies conducted in this study. The theoretical basis uses the modality theory proposed by Putman, namely Social Capital and Political Capital. The findings in this study, first, the success of maintaining 4 leadership periods reflects the strong modalities possessed by Ashari and the Tambunan family, second, the power relations built with a familial cultural approach have succeeded in providing political conduciveness, third, the individual modalities possessed by actors are a strong foundation. formed from a belief in building power relations so that the community participates in development participation because of harmonization of relations which leads to increasing public trust in the government in the Deli Serdang Regency area..
